Mom, it was 54 here yesterday.
No snow, people still out on their bikes.
Hanyday.
Lots of brekky delights and phoo/coffee/juice.
Don't want the Stanican coming in griping nobody made anything.
He's probably stiff and sore from all the work he does down there.

Enjoy!

-14° and still dropping. Global warming my aunt Suzie's rear end. Never got above zero yesterday. Won't today or tomorrow either. This high humidity doesn't help. Just glad the wind isn't blowing.
Just heard the division manager from back east will be on site this week.

It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!

In a rush. Where is the coffee? Where is the coffee? Nobody make any coffee? Oh, there it is. Sniff, sniff, is that really coffee? Hmmmmm, dare I even taste it? Throws it out and makes fresh.

Cougar, are you having fun yet?

Is it my imagination, or is this site dying?

No Scotty, hard work does not make me stiff and sore.

Was a little bit cool this morning, but there was no wind. Now up to 25C and a lovely day.

Tried to post two other times. Lost the net each time. Had a great weekend, nothing major. A little wrenching, a little furniture moving, and a lot u "us" time.

Today, I managed to survive a 90 plus 2nd grader tour of the KY ANG Base. Boss "voluntold" me to make it happen. Turned out to be a very busy but fun day. Sure was tempted to borrow one of the sack lunches from the kids! Made it home on time to a big plate of leftover venison, so today was a win!

Raining and getting colder. Yuck.....

another sunny day in paradise....whoops, that is Stan's line. anyways, nice until the sun goes down.

apple cider is the drink of the week. sun sun sun till sat, then snow. go figure....

told farmer I will not put steel on roof. guess where I was today.....
getting up early tomorrow to cut up logs for myself. they will not cut themselves. fortunately they are small by what I used to cut. I am looking forward to eating lunch outside and enjoying the labor.

came home to 5 deer hanging out next to the house. hunters may sit in the recliners now...

yes Stan we are lacking comraderie on this site, but economy dictates we have to do more work, more life choices than online. visits are always welcome, lol

JWBM- Now you got me thinking about hot apple cider. Cooked on the woodstove... Maybe a taste to something stronger for the adults... SIGH, it's a long time till the weekend.....

To go with the "new" cider plans for the weekend, planning on taking down a standing dead red oak. Lightning got it. Might be able to save a log or two, but if not, plenty of firewood!

Whew, can finally sit down and relax! Time for my last coffee of the day.

JWBM, it sounds like you STILL do not know how to say NO! Perhaps you need a lesson in saying NO from Bob.

Talking about BusyBob, reminds me of something I read. Here it is FWIW:

Ever wondered why baby diapers have brand names like “Luvs” and “Huggies,” while undergarments for the elderly are called “Depends.”

There’s a simple explanation.

When babies go to the bathroom in their diapers, family members still want to “luv ‘em” and “hug ‘em.”

When the elderly go to the bathroom in their diapers, it “depends” on who’s in the will!

HEY - - HEY - - WHAT IS THIS STUFF ABOUT "REMINDS ME ABOUT BOB?" Since when and why and what? ................

I forgot to say no this morning - - have to go clean the carpet in my SS class this week. Bummer. Oh well, good commercial cleaning machine and I have the chems to do it right.

Got lots done today and still had some time to relax and chill with the wife. Trying to get my computer cleaned up and transferred to second drive and be ready for the new one when it gets here. Can't wait. Hope I like Windows 10 - - - seems to be getting pretty good reviews. New one has the latest i7 processor at 6700, 24 gigs of ram, 2 terrabite hard drive, supercharger and chip - -oh wait, that is for the car. Bummer. The blonde gets my old one (which is no slouch) and the new LED 25" monitor. She will love it.
........................................gone

Bob, still getting used to Windows 10, but so far it is not too bad. Close enough to Windows 7 that I am not too confused. Discovered one big problem with it tho; it cannot stream live videos without chopping it up, shuttering as some call it. On checking into this problem on the internet I see that many folks are experiencing the same problem and that MS does not have a fix yet. Local videos or YouTube are no problem.

Stan, good info. I had fears that this would be like those dumb "apps" in my new cell phone. Still wish I had stuck with a flip phone - - I don't tweet, text or toot - - what is with all these dump looking things on my phone - - I can't even answer the stupid thing. ..............

Nuther gorgeous day has dawned and I am off across the street again - - finish my project for them on shelving and then install a sound bar. Now he is getting deaf on top of being blind - neat couple. Tough to see them both struggling with hearing, him blind and now hard of hearing but still kicking down the highway. She is a fighter - - he just sits. She is now the caregiver.

Phoo and coffee are down and I am off and running...................

A day filled with the joys of Management. Tomorrow, I think I'll play like a line Officer. That way, when I make a decision, it'll feel like a win. New software being dumped on us. I knew it was coming so I did a backup onto my "P" drive. Now, even the IT help desk doesn't know why I can't reconnect to the virtual. Calling it a day!! Bye!!

Worked Sunday. Wanted to get a couple trucks out of the field but the boss said no, they're good there. Rained Sunday night. Got one out Monday, but not the other one. Got rained/hailed out about 6,came down so hard we abandoned trying to get the pick-ups home. Don't know how long the other truck will sit in the field now. Over 3 inches of rain in 24 hours and a couple inches of snow. And the track into the field was already about as soft as you could still get a truck across.
Have a few days off here due to rain/snow.

The Family Guy Star Wars movies are funny.

morning dtr finest!

why make plans anymore? flying by seat o pants lately. cell phones are a boon to getting work done.

was supposed to help with big project roof, extra people around taking half day of from their work due to the sunshine. driving past an accident, got an opportunity; harvested a young bear, they all wanted to help-first time for all of them. no roof work done. now so windy, a 32 ft ladder that was tied off, ended up across an access road. only one 16 footer of steel ended up moving location. dumped twenty pounds of 6x6 wood blocks.

sooooooooo, checked out bear meat prep and recipes. have skin at home and doing more work on it before taking it to processing.

black coffee for all, had actual cream today. amazed at how sweet it was...
